Chapter 1309 No Comparison Everyone present, including Vivian, was naturally included.
Vivian felt unhappy in her heart, but she put on a smile on her face. She looked at the two young ladies with arrogance and sneered, "Selena has been busy with Oscar's surgery lately and has never had the old man's birthday in mind. What good birthday gift can she come up with?" "Even if she had one, it was probably prepared in advance by Mr. Anderson for her." Vivian's voice was not small when she said this. Everyone around heard it. Inmediately, everyone's gaze gathered on Vivian.
A group of people looked at each other, and no one spoke.
First, Selena was known for being unsociable, and there was no one present who was familiar with her, so naturally no one would speak up for her.
Secondly, the Turner family had caused a lot of commotion recently, and many eyes were on Selena, wanting to know if she could cure Oscar. Even many families had ulterior motives. After all, Oscar was disabled, and for those families hostile to the Turner family, it was a good thing. Once this former chief commander of Capital was able to stand up again, his chances of regaining power in Zone Six would be even greater. This was a huge disaster for them.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtHowever, both the Turner family and the Capital University laboratory were too vigilant, and there was no chance to take advantage of any opportunity.
Because the major families were watching Selena's every move very closely for various reasons, they all knew that Vivian was telling the truth. The young lady of the Turner family really hadn't cared about the old man's birthday banquet.
Even if she had brought a valuable birthday gift today, it was probably prepared for her by Mr. Anderson.
Once Vivian brought out her prepared birthday gift and suppressed Selena, the young lady who was about to be engaged to Osvaldo would probably become the subject of ridicule today.
Everyone looked at Vivian, who was clearly prepared, and for a moment, they all had the idea of watching a good show.
Vivian sensed everyone's thoughts and lifted her chin even higher.
Standing in the center of the banquet, like a mistress, Vivian looked at the two young ladies in front of her with a displeased expression and sneered, "Don't think | didn't hear what you were saying just now." "Even if the Shaw family is in dire straits, we are still not the kind of small aristocratic families that you are qualified to criticize!" Although the two young ladies’ family backgrounds couldn't compare to the Shaw family, they were still well-known in the capital.
After all, the families that came to celebrate the old man's birthday at the Anderson family's were all respectable.
But now, being so contemptuously ridiculed by Vivian in public, the young lady who spoke couldn't hold back her words and sneered, "Who in the entire capital doesn't know how the Shaw family got rich?!" "Eating the flesh and blood of our H Country's loyal martyrs, yet shamelessly flaunting it here, Miss Shaw, don't you feel shameless?!" Vivian's face turned pale immediately.
Even though everyone knew the truth, no one dared to say it out loud in public when the Shaw family was still powerful. But now that the Shaw family had fallen a little, these small aristocratic families dared to kick them while they were down in front of Vivian, and she was furious.
She glared at the young lady who spoke and said, "I'll remember your words. After we leave this place, the Shaw family will remember and find your family to settle the score!" But the young lady sneered and was not afraid at all, "Miss Shaw, | really wonder what kind of family education the Shaw family gave you." "The Shaw family is now in dire straits, and yet you want to make enemies with us over a trivial argument. Do you really think that the Shaw family is so powerful that it can cover up the sky with one hand?" She looked at Vivian with contempt as Vivian's face turned pale, "Yes, you may be able to crush my family, but can you crush all the second-rate aristocratic families in the capital?!" "Your family is on the brink of disaster, yet you are not even thinking about helping the Shaw family solve its crisis. Instead, you dare to make enemies everywhere..." "Compared to Miss Turner, your mindset and family education are not even on the same level. You can't even compare to the average young lady of an aristocratic family!" "No wonder the one who married into the Anderson family was the talented Miss Turner who emerged out of nowhere, and not you who had known Mr. Anderson since childhood." "You and Miss Turner are simply not comparable!" Vivian hated it when others said she couldn't compare to Selena, and in a fit of extreme anger after being humiliated in public, she forgot the occasion and slapped the young lady in the face.
There was a sudden silence in the room after the loud "smack".
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThe young lady who was slapped regained her composure and stared at Vivian with red eyes. "How dare you--" Vivian sneered with a hint of resentment and arrogance in her eyes, "Who says that the female head of the Anderson family has to be Selena? In this world, accidents can happen at any moment! Who knows, Selena might be abandoned by Mr. Anderson and become a pathetic woman someday!" The young lady trembled with anger, but ultimately feared the power of the Shaw family and didn't make a scene.
Seeing the other party's submissive attitude, the Shaw family sneered and walked away on high heels.
Unbeknownst to them, Lady Lauren was standing nearby and witnessed everything.
The maid standing next to Lady Lauren saw her icy gaze and whispered, "Madam, do you want me to--" Lady Lauren whispered back, "Today is my father-in-law's birthday. We can't have any unpleasant incidents. Bring the young lady to a guest room and comfort her. Afterwards, send a gift in my name." The maid replied, "Yes." Then, she glanced at Vivian and remembered what she had just said, and said with some concern, "Madam, the old master didn't tell Madam Selena about his birthday celebration. Miss Shaw obviously came prepared. What if--" Lady Lauren thought of Selena's character and was not worried at all. She smiled, "My daughter-in-law is so clever and talented.
What's so difficult about preparing a birthday gift? Even if she wasn't prepared, Selena would have the ability to come up with one on the spot.” The maid smiled too and said, "It's almost time. The old master will be coming out soon. | wonder where the young master and Madam Selena--" Before she could finish, she heard a commotion at the door.
Lady Lauren turned her head and saw Selena walking in, holding Osvaldo's arm with a smile.
Lady Lauren immediately greeted her, "Selena is here." Selena said with a smile, "Madam." Lady Lauren took Selena's hand, "Let's go rest for a while. Leave this to Osvaldo..."
